Holy crap Coco Crisp
Thanks, goreds. I have it on now.
Okay, so positives - it was only 2-1 and Bailey performed very well. That's something to hang on to, and can be used for the next game, or the one after if it must be.
Has any body brought up the possibility of walking Arias (after the passed ball) to get romo out of game. Also Giants only had one pinch hitter left.
Don't agree. Can debate the relative merits on defense. But Frazier is the way better bet from the plate. And he has yet to peak as a fielder.
I'm a fan of Scott Rolen. He's done a lot for the Reds. I wouldn't knock him. But I do question Dusty's tenacity at keeping him in the lineup.
How did they accomplish all they did when JoVo was out? Frazier was a huge part of that. He deserves the opportunity. And, good folks will disagree but, in my humble opinion (and more importantly), we're at the point now where Frazier gives us the better chance to win.
Reds & Nats, 2013 LCS. Take2 (9/13) Reds but no Nats
After all the fuss we made about the playoff setup, returning home to Great American Bandbox may have been the worst thing to happen. Not that the ball was jumping out of there, but the entire lineup COMPLETELY changed the approach that was so successful in San Francisco. Didn't hit a line drive all night. I lost track after about 8 or 9 can o' corns.
What a wasted opportunity. I don't think I've ever seen the Reds get beat on less than what the Giants mustered tonight.
Rounding third and heading for home...
I have to go drown some serious sorrows. See you all tomorrow--hopefully--assuming Game 4 isn't at 1pm ET or overlapping stupidly with Cards at Nats.
We will win this series. Of that, I'm 100% certain.
Reds & Nats, 2013 LCS. Take2 (9/13) Reds but no Nats
I coach basketball & often times we tell our players not to blame a mistake at the end of a game as the sole reason for the loss. Mistakes made earlier in the game have just as much impact on outcome, like Phillips risky play to try & get to 3rd.
Rolen has done a lot behind the scenes to help this club get back to championship baseball. Statistics aren't everything & his presence in the clubhouse & his effect on Votto, Bruce, & othere can't go unnoticed. Not to knock Jr or Dunn but until Rolen got here this team didn't come to the ballpark expecting to win everyday. Now they do.
